First Paragraph:
The defendant was indicted for two counts of aggravated burglary, a
Class C felony. T.C.A. S 39-14-403(b). She pled guilty to both
counts pursuant to a plea agreement under which she was sentenced to
three years on each count as a Range I standard offender. At the
hearing for the determination of how the sentence would be served, the
trial court ordered the defendant to serve ninety days in continuous
confinement and the balance of the sentence in the Community
Corrections Program. The court also ordered her to pay restitution of
three thousand four hundred twenty-three dollars ($3,423.00). The
defendant now appeals, claiming that her sentence "is excessive and
unduly harsh." She also contends that she was wrongly denied pretrial
diversion. After reviewing the record, we affirm the judgment of the
trial court. AFFIRMED.
